Names on the Evening Wind 2
Folk Song
Lyrics
Description
We'll sit by the hearth with the windows dim, And hum Do not mention sound effects or instruments in the lyrics
Under the white and weathered sky, where the river learns to rhyme,
An old red mill keeps turning slow, chip paint smelling faint of hay and time,
Where low roots curl under the stone, evening birds stitch up the line,
We'll stand where the footpath narrows in, and listen as the day folds into night.
Come dance with me where the wildflowers bend by the stone bridge, where our stories begin,
Close your hands, hold my elbow like a friend, let our names ride on the evening wind.
Hum the tune that keeps the small lights in, toughest line beneath your coat and chin,
Let our names ride on the evening wind.
At the old stone bridge, the spring rain came, and found your coat damp with pine and train,
Inside a folded letter, soft and thin, you'd written Maggie Wade and signed your name.
I pressed the paper where the ink had bled, felt the tremor of the river slow and kind,
A spittle landed on the mill wheel's rim, and the valley kept a promise in my mind.
Now dance with me where wildflowers know our names, where forever repeats the things we said,
Leaning closer let the past do what it may, let our names ride on the evening rain.
Sing the lines like bread and coffee in the rain, keep them warm beneath your jacket seam,
Let our names ride on the evening wind.
When winter pulls the white sheet over all, and the mill grows quiet, the fox is small,
We'll sit by the hearth, let the windows dill and hum.
Thanks for watching!
